Description du lot

Remarkable Proof 1885 Gold Dollar Among the Finest Certified 1885 Gold Dollar. Proof-68 Cameo (NGC). This beautiful Superb Gem possesses strong cameo contrast between frosty devices and watery, deeply mirrored fields. The strike is razor sharp throughout, and closer inspection also reveals a delightful "orange peel" texture in the fields that advanced Proof gold collectors are sure to find appealing. Otherwise medium gold in appearance, the surfaces exhibit blushes of warmer reddish-copper iridescence in isolated areas around the peripheries. Free of even trivial blemishes, this is a gorgeous and virtually pristine survivor from a mintage of just 1,105 Proof 1885 gold dollars. PCGS# 87635. Provenance: From the RLS Collection. Combined PCGS and NGC Population: just three coins in Proof-68, all at NGC, two Proof-68 Cameo and a single Proof-68 Ultra Cameo. There are no examples certified finer at either service.
